At this moment, Fifth Prince Leng Wuxin and Fourth Prince Leng Wusheng came over together.

"Fourth brother, you must help me talk in front of the Royal Father, I must marry Qin Yiyao." Leng Wuxin's eyes darkened. Qin Yiyao, this woman, actually dared to break the engagement, and Royal Father actually agreed. Originally, he sincerely wanted to marry Qin Yiyao, although he valued her background, but Qin Yiyao actually liked his Third Brother who was crippled, and even took the initiative to break the engagement.

He grinded his teeth. Qin Yiyao, I was originally going to marry you into my protection, but that doesn't seem to be necessary anymore. The reason why he proposed to marry Qin Yiyao now was purely because of her background. Although Qin Yiyao was beautiful, he realized that there were women in this world who were more beautiful than Qin Yiyao and were able to move his heart.

Thinking about the peerless beauty that he met in Star Sea, Leng Wuxin was stunned. Where did that beauty go? Why was he unable to find anyone from the Star Sea that he had searched everywhere?

"Fourth brother will do his best to help you, but since the Qin family has already changed Royal Father's mind, I'm afraid they won't be able to change their minds." When Leng Wusheng said this, he realized that Leng Wuxin was distracted and immediately called out, "Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother?"

Leng Wuxin regained his senses and looked up, "Third brother, what did you say?"

Leng Wusheng frowned and asked, "Why did you suddenly get distracted after saying those words?"

Leng Wuxin smiled slightly, he did not intend to tell them about the beauty he had met in Star Sea. He only said, "Third brother, just try to help me when the time comes."

Just as the two parties in the palace were discussing with Gu Qing on the portrait, they suddenly heard a report from the eunuch outside: "Your Majesty, the Fourth and Fifth Princes requests an audience."

The Emperor of Stellar Kingdom also hoped that his sons could become friends with these Immortal Master. After all, only with more power and connections could their Stellar Kingdom become stronger and stronger. He immediately nodded and said, "Let them in."

Shen Chang heard and indicated for the person to bring up Gu Qing's portrait.

When Leng Wuxin and Leng Wusheng walked in, they saw that the room was filled with people who were a little stunned, and that the princes definitely had better eyes than most people, so they nodded at Shen Chang and the others at the same time.

"Why did the two of you enter the palace today?" Although the emperor was kind and amiable in front of Shen Chang, he was still dignified and majestic in front of his own son.

Leng Wusheng immediately answered, "I would like to ask Royal Father to do something..."

Before he even finished his sentence, a cry of surprise came from inside the hall, "This … "Who is she?" Leng Wuxin took a few steps forward, and pointed at the half of the picture scroll in a Foundation Period cultivator's hands.

"Wu Xin, don't be rude!" The Stellar Kingdom Emperor never thought that his son would be so impatient. If he were to lose his face in front of the Immortal Master, don't even mention making friends, I'm afraid that he already doesn't even think highly of you.

After Leng Wuxin was scolded, he came back to reality, "Yes, Royal Father, this son was just an accident."

The Emperor of Stellar Kingdom was just about to berate him, so as to not embarrass himself in front of the Immortal Master s. Unexpectedly, Shen Chang, who was at the side, noticed the abnormality, and his eyelids slightly lifted, as he looked in Leng Wuxin's direction. "The Fifth Prince seems to know this woman in the painting?"

Leng Wuxin immediately nodded, "Yes, I have seen her before. She is even prettier than a portrait."

Hearing that, Shen Chang's body that was originally standing by the side without moving suddenly stiffened, a light flashed in his eyes, he stared at Leng Wuxin and asked: "Where have you seen her before?"

"Wu Xin, you can't hide this from Immortal Master. Since you have seen this lady before, you should immediately tell Immortal Master where she is."

Leng Wuxin was not an idiot, he naturally knew that this was a good opportunity to become friends with the Immortal Master.

He pondered for a moment and immediately said: "Roughly a month ago, I went to the Star Sea and saw the woman in the painting. That's why I have a very deep impression of her."

Shen Chang's expressionless face finally revealed a smile. Very good! Gu Qing, you actually hid in the Star Sea! Since that's the case, even if I have to flip the Star Sea over, I will still find you!

"You are Fifth Prince Leng Wuxin, right?" Shen Chang suddenly asked.

Leng Wuxin was flattered, and immediately nodded, "Yes, Lord Immortal Master."

Shen Chang laughed, and nodded: "I will remember you. If you have anything to say, come find me at Xuanhua Sect. My name is Shen Chang."

Leng Wuxin was ecstatic, but he quickly replied: "It's my honor to be able to help Master Immortal Master."

Shen Chang nodded in satisfaction, and after bidding farewell to the Emperor of Stellar Kingdom, he brought his cultivators to rush towards the Star Sea. Originally, when he was entering the palace, he remembered why the cultivator looked so familiar. It turned out that he had met him on the way to find Gu Qing before, and initially, he had even planned to investigate him, but now that he knew about Gu Qing, he immediately threw that thought out of the Ninth Heaven and flew straight to the Star Sea.

Since the Fifth Prince and the Fourth Prince had entered, Leng Wuye had not said a word, and only silently watched everything within the palace. Even though he was a little skeptical of Wu Chen, he simply did not connect him to the peerlessly beautiful woman in the portrait.

"Third brother!" The Fifth Prince and the Fourth Prince still had their proper etiquette before the Emperor.

Leng Wuye nodded expressionlessly, and the two princes stopped looking at him. They started to persuade the Royal Father s to change their minds regarding Qin Yiyao's repudiation of the marriage.

Leng Wuye was not interested and quickly took his leave.

After Gu Qing returned to her cave abode, her heart had been beating non-stop. Why did Shen Chang also appear in the Stellar Kingdom? She had actually bumped into him. If she were to do it again, she wasn't sure if she would reveal any flaws and be discovered by Shen Chang.

Thus, she decided that she would not take another step out of the cave for the next year. Presumably, Shen Chang would not be able to find any trace of her and would not stay in the Stellar Kingdom for long.

When Leng Wuye returned from the palace, he originally wanted to see Wu Chen, but Tie Feng told him to not disturb her unless the sky was falling.

Leng Wuye was once a cultivator who cultivated bitterly, so he understood the other party's desire for cultivation, and did not disturb him again.

Shen Chang searched through the Star Sea for an entire two months. Forget about catching Gu Qing, he didn't even see a single shadow. He had left the Xuanhua Sect for too long, and just as Gu Qing had expected, he had no choice but to temporarily give up on searching for Gu Qing himself, and rushed back to the Xuanhua Sect.

A year had passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Qing had passed through the calmest year in history. No one came to disturb her until her cultivation level steadily rose to Middle Period of Foundation Stage.

If it were anyone else, even if they had an unceasing flow of Spiritual Stone s, with decent aptitude, it would still take at least two to three years for them to advance from Initial Period of Foundation Stage to the middle stages. However, the spiritual liquid Gu Qing had created with her pendant was extremely heaven defying, even if she was worried about herself being unable to endure it and tried to consume as little as possible, it still only took her a year to raise her Middle Period of Foundation Stage to the middle stages.

The Middle Period of Foundation Stage had already gotten rid of the embarrassment of being a low level cultivator. At the very least, if she were to wander the world outside, she would not need to worry that she would run into a cultivator whose cultivation was higher than hers.

In this year, she had used up more than twenty Disguising Pill and she needed time. Thus, she prepared to leave her cave and go out to check the situation: whether Shen Chang was going to leave or not, and also to replenish some medicinal pellets and the like.

After leaving the cave, she did not go see Leng Wuye, but instead headed towards the pill shop in the west side of the city.

Once a year ago, Gu Qing found that street with ease. Just as she was about to enter the medicine store, she suddenly saw two familiar figures.

Ye Sanniang and Chen Jinhu? Why were they here?

Gu Qing saw that Ye Sanniang and Chen Jinhu were both supporting each other, obviously injured. It looked like their year had not gone as well as they hoped. Thinking about how enthusiastic and helpful the Ye Sanniang was, in the end, Gu Qing did not indifferently leave. Instead, she called out the other party's name.

"Ye Sanniang."

Ye Sanniang was startled, then she looked up to see who had called her.

When she saw the person in front of her, she frowned, but in the next breath of time, she suddenly revealed a smile, "Wu Chen, it's you!"

Gu Qing smiled slightly, and slowly walked closer under Chen Jinhu's still guarded gaze. "I didn't expect to see you again in more than a year, you two are …"

Ye Sanniang vexedly sighed, "It's all my fault for being greedy and hurting Jin Hu. Not only did I not get the thing, I even got a whole body of wounds."

Hearing that, Chen Jinhu's gaze turned from Gu Qing's body, his gaze becoming gentler: "We can't blame you, how can we not compete to raise our cultivation?"

This was the fate of rogue cultivators. They had to fight and fight for everything on their own. If he won, he would be able to climb upwards step by step. If he lost, he would be injured slightly, and he might even lose his life.

Gu Qing was also a rogue cultivator now, but she was luckier than the two of them. Thinking about the fact that the two of them could be considered friends, Gu Qing took out some healing pellets from her bosom and gave it to the Ye Sanniang, "Take these, and recover quickly."

Seeing how serious their injuries were, they were probably too short of money to even gather the money needed to buy healing pills.

Chen Jinhu was about to refuse, he did not want to be restricted by the pills. But just as he was about to open his mouth, the Ye Sanniang held his hand, and immediately smiled at Gu Qing: "Third Mother will remember your good intentions. If Fellow Taoist has any requests in the future, I and Jin Hu will definitely help you."

Gu Qing smiled, and retracted her gaze from Chen Jinhu's body. Although she was a rogue cultivator, she could still take out a few pills. She had never thought of using a few pills to win her heart, so Chen Jinhu's guard was too heavy.

"Oh right, Fellow Taoist Wu Chen, where are you training?" The Ye Sanniang asked.

Gu Qing thought about it, then decided to accept the Spiritual Stone and some of the resources provided by Leng Wuye, treating it as a tribute of the imperial family. Furthermore, if she had such an identity, her roots would not be exposed easily, so she said: "I am currently in the Third Prince Palace."

With that said, Ye Sanniang's face changed, while Chen Jinhu became even more furious.

Gu Qing was curious, what kind of reaction was this?

"Third Madam, let's go!" Chen Jinhu had never been polite with Gu Qing before, and now, he did not even try to conceal the disgust in his eyes.
